    hard to fathom a woman of this calibre was taken by the fatal complications of childbirth

    • @TimeUnveiled_
      @TimeUnveiled_  5 месяцев назад +5

      Sadly during this time it was common. Child rearing was dangerous during this period. I believe around 2% mortality rate per attempt giving birth. Luckily we have come a long way since then. 🙂

    Oh man, this is just as friggin' amazing as it is surreal.
    Emilie Du Chatelet challenged the conventional idea of happiness. Instead of being a temporary feeling, she felt it was more of a state of emotion that was rooted in reason, self-awareness, and the pursuit of knowledge. She placed a lot of emphasis on the experience of intellectual and moral virtues and identified them as essential for emotional growth. Enlightenment thinking sorta' reminds me of a combination of educational therapy with a dash of stoicism. Marcus Aurelius cites that we take ourselves with us everywhere that we go, so simply changing the scenery would only give us momentary happiness and escape from whatever issues we have. It is only with meditation and self-awareness that we can understand ourselves and seek to improve upon our mental condition.

      There is our star of the moment. Well said. Not enough people read Marcus Aurelius. I am glad you enjoyed that. A little out there for my channel, but I am happy to see some people appreciated it despite. 🙂

      Hello Lili, I hope this does not come off as anything but earnest, but you have such a soothing and cute voice. I saw your video and it was impressive how well it translated into this creation. I think this shows that you could do VO work with some training and practice. 👍

      Bismarck would be great. Iron and Blood is definitely up there for one of the most influential speeches in modern history. It gives a pretty good insight into how he loathed liberalism and how he believed German unification would happen. Hence the need to overhaul the military into a more adaptive force.

    • @TimeUnveiled_

      🤔 I would not say difficult as much as time consuming. It takes a fair amount of time to find a good voice, Get their permission, find a good transcript or work, sometimes translate, format it for text to speech, let it render piece by piece, listen and verify, edit and touch up, and then some basic video editing. I would say all in all it takes about 5 times the length of the video to get it done on average. I linked all of the tools I use in the description if you want to give it a crack.

    • @JebBush2024
      @JebBush2024 5 месяцев назад

      Going by all of the tools that I see in the description it looks extremely time consuming at the least. ElevenLabs is also expensive to use from what I can see.

    A.I. has come such a long way, but it still struggles with tone. Give it 5 years and it will be flawless. This is still really good and definitely one of the better ones and in a voice that I have never heard before. Is it a stock voice?

      How do you do SEO optimizations? I have heard people mention that but have never understood it

    • @rezaulbari3404
      @rezaulbari3404 5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for your kind reply. SEO is quite complex, but I'll give you an overview. For instance, when creating a video title, we use various tools to research its search volume and competition. We aim for titles with high search volume and low competition for optimal performance. The title also needs to align with the thumbnail, description, and content. Numerous SEO techniques are applied to the title, description, tags, and other settings. When done correctly, RUclips's algorithm will promote your video in search results, leading to more subscribers and views. I hope this clarifies things. Thank you again, and have a great day.

    If you're open to suggestions, I think it would be interesting to hear something by a pope - the current one, Benedict XVI, or John Paul II. It should be fairly easy to find an Easter or Christmas Sermon. Or maybe John Paul speaking after his assassination attempt. I'm not Catholic, but I think it would be interesting to hear a pope preach English in his own voice.

      I thought it was insightful, but quite to the contrary of your prescription for it. If you try to keep busy to stay happy then you are chasing something that will only be a temporary sensation of happiness. If on the other hand you savor the moments of happiness and learn to appreciate what you have then you'll be a lot better off.

      I was just kidding about the not having a point. 🙂 I take your point that it is not as meaningful. Still I think I will do it from time to time if I find a voice I like and want to pair it to a historical figure which sounds like that in my head. Or if there is a particular work I want done but have no voice. Don’t worry I am going right back to historical figures. Lai-Ching-te of Taiwan and Vladimir Lenin are already queued up. However I will do one offs from time to time.
